Secularism means an attitude of tolerance towards other religions and the peaceful co-existence of citizens belonging to different faiths.
Objectives of Secularism:
One religious group does not dominate another.
Some members don’t dominate other members of the same religious community.
The state does not enforce any specific religion nor take away the religious freedom of individuals.
Because there is no state religion in India.
The state will neither establish a religion of its own nor confer any special patronage upon any particular religion.
Principle of Liberty – The state permits the practice of any religion
Principle of Equality – The state does not give preference to any religion over another.
Principle of Neutrality – The state remains neutral in religious matters.
Article 15 – prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, caste, sex or place of birth, etc.,
Article 16 – equality of opportunity in public employment.
Article 26 – Freedom to manage religious affairs.
The government will definitely intervene if some religious group claims that their religion allows them to practice human sacrifice or infanticide. No religion teaches us to kill any living being, as kindness and compassion are the root principles of all religions. The law of our country also declares that killing a human being is illegal and constitutes a serious crime. Such practices are against human rights and violate the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution. The state has the responsibility to protect the life and dignity of all citizens, and therefore it will not permit any religious practice that harms human life, regardless of what justification is offered. The secular nature of our constitution ensures that individual freedoms are balanced with the protection of human life and social order.

- A. i, ii only b) ii, iii only
- C. iv only d) i, ii and iv only
The correct answer is d) i, ii, iv only. Article 26 provides freedom to manage religious affairs, Article 16 ensures equality of opportunity in public employment, and Article 29(2) bans discrimination in State-aided educational institutions. Article 28, which states that the State shall not compel any citizen to promote any particular religion, is not included in the correct options. Regarding the assertion and reason question, the correct answer is b) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. There is no state religion in India because the State will neither establish a religion of its own nor confer any patronage upon any particular religion. This principle of secularism is fundamental to the Indian Constitution and ensures that the state remains neutral in matters of religion while protecting the rights of all citizens to practice their faith freely.
A secular state is the one in which the state does not officially promote any one religion as the country’s official religion and every religion is treated equally.
It gives to every citizen not only the equal right to freedom of conscience but also the right to process practice, and propagate any faith of their own choice.
The state observes an attitude of neutrally and impartiality towards all religions.
In a secular state, no one is given preferential treatment and the state does not discriminate any person on the basis of their religious practices and beliefs.
All citizens are eligible to enter government service irrespective of their faith.
There should be absolutely no religious instructions in educational institutions and no taxes to support any particular religion.
